Perkins Grant

About the Perkins Grant

Many programs at Palm Beach State College are operated in part with dollars from the
Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006. Funds from this federal
grant help the College develop more fully the academic, career and technical skills
of postsecondary students who elect to enroll in career and technical education programs.

One way to promote success is to encourage students to consider all career options.
A core objective of the Perkins Grant is to correct the gender imbalance in nontraditional
occupations. The term "nontraditional" refers to those occupations in which 25 percent
or less of the workforce is of one gender. Thus, if an occupation's workforce is comprised
mostly of one gender (75 percent or more), that occupation is considered nontraditional
for the opposite or under-represented gender. Take a closer look at the programs offered
by Palm Beach State in nontraditional occupations for men and women.
